Actually, we are a high volume print shop. This is a case of us accomodating a format we don't normally get, we usually get data and build the app ourselves using Dialogue by Exstream. Lets face it, Word was not designed for variable high volume print. In addition each document has a signature on it so they are fairly large for one or two pages(around 83k). Yes we are considering coverting to a PDF and then combining those to one PDF and printing that. We have a program that converts word to pdf and I am currently working on executing this from VBA with the Shell command. When I get it working, I will post. Thanks for the reply.
